Hope and heartache

[ClingingToHope]

Yes. That's the person I'm dealing with now. The ice queen.

Here's a question. I saw tonight W paid off a short-term loan we took out when we were still living together. She probably got it from her 401(k) thanks to help from her mom.

First, I find it interesting because she said last week she didn't have $1,200 for a retainer to get divorced and the loan's balance was $1,224.

Second, and here, finally, is the question. In our unofficial child support agreement, I was paying her an additional $27.50 a paycheck for that loan. That equaled $55 a month for a $106 payment.

Do I just put $25 less in next week's transfer, write her a note -- she hasn't given me her new email address -- saying I'm going to put $25 less a check in the transfer now that the loan is paid off, send her a text or give her less without saying anything?

I do not like talking money with W.
